Water: Dahlia 'Tsuki' requires ample water due to its large leaves but is susceptible to root rot from excess moisture. Water promptly during droughts, ensuring good drainage in wet conditions. Initially, water once daily on sunny days, then increase as it matures, preferably before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Tsuki' thrives in fertile soil, requiring a thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days. Use nitrogenous types initially, then phosphate-potassium later. Reduce to every 7-10 days post flower bud emergence, stopping when buds color. Monitor leaf health for signs of under- or over-fertilization.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Tsuki' produces vibrant blooms and thrives with early spring pruning, focusing on removing damaged stems and thinning crowded areas for better air circulation. Pinching tips fosters bushier growth, while regular deadheading enhances blooming throughout the season, aligning with its growth patterns and seasonal behaviors.

Propagation: Propagation of dahlia 'Tsuki' includes root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division occurs in early spring at 15℃, yielding five seedlings per tuber. Cutting, the main method, requires buds to be 3-5 cm, rooting in 1 week at 25℃, and transplanting after 15 days. Sowing blooms in 1-2 years.
